Dr. Traci, Here We come!

This morning we are off to William's 3 year check up. I am sure it will be full of shots and tears. I will let you know how tall he is and how much he weighs. And if Dr. Traci B. is wearing anything especially interesting because she is a VERY fashionable pediatrician.

The Diabetic Diet

The diabetic diet is not bad! Here are the foods I can eat:
wheat toast
grits
eggs
Cinnamon Life cereal, my very favorite (sorry Kristin)
Apple Cinnamon Cheerios (again, sorry Kristin)
Peanut butter and sugar free jelly sandwiches (the sugar free jelly is a little blah, but not terrible)
Bananas
Milk
Graham Crackers
Yogurt
Sugar Free Jello
Sugar Free Pudding
Coffee (Sorry Depp sisters)

I can have more stuff than that, but that is what I eat on a daily basis. My nutritionist told me that since I really did not fail the test by much, she was not going to restrict any foods. I had cake at 2 out of the 3 birthday parties we attended over the weekends and my blood sugar was just fine.


I can eat other sutff

Oh, This Quiz

Who was your favorite teacher? Miss Nelson

Where did you first encounter FWM? I am not sure when I *first* encountered him, but one of my earliest memories of him was when he had his toenails painted at the BRCC pool.

Who is your favorite Brady? Peter. I also enjoy watching Christopher Knight on My Fair Brady.

What is your favorite Mexican dish? Enchiladas

Who were the members of the Steak Club? Natalie Depp, Katherine Phillips Elliott Foley Kogos Holmes Creech, Scott Kirkpatrick, Blake "Steak" Middleton

What brand of underwear do you like? Body by Victoria

What is your favorite BR bar? The Happy Note, I guess. Although I don't think they serve mojitos. And I freaking love mojitos.

Of all the cars that you have owned, which is your favorite? I really liked my Cherokee.

Would you consider getting a bowl cut? I have had one before (in 4th grade) and it wasn't really attractive so I don't think I will repeat that hairstyle again.

Do you prefer your sausage in patty or link form? Patty. On a poboy. Mmmmm. Now I'm hungry.

Manic Monday

This morning I went and had my eyes examined and picked out some new glasses. I am very excited about my new glasses and they should be ready in 7 business days. I will post a picture when they come in. I also got a prescription for some new contacts and a loner pair. My eyes are all set.

Some thoughts about childbirth

Well, it is no secret to anyone that I am pregnant. Today marks the beginning of week 30. Which means my due date is in 10 weeks. Which *sounds* like a long time but when you think of it in terms of getting ready for baby, it is not all that long. My thoughts are this: will I go into labor on my own? I had to be induced with my other 2 babies. Granted, William was 2 weeks early, but the point is that I have never gone into labor so how will I know if it is labor? I also wonder if it will go fast or slow or medium (if I am not induced, that is). I had Caroline very fast (epidural did not work) and William pretty quickly too (epidural worked so it took a bit longer). I just hope that my water does not break in the middle of the grocery store or something. I guess those are my only thoughts on labor for now. My other thought is that I hope my baby will be cute. Because red hair runs in my family and I have dodged that bullet twice. Hope the third time is not the red headed charm.

Blah

I really have nothing interesting to say today. I had a very busy day. Dropped the boys off at school (boys being William and Risley) and then went to a clothing show. I ordered 1 outfit for each child. Then I went and met my friends E and K for lunch at Italian Pie. I graduated from high school with E and K and we try to get together for lunch as often as possible. Both are pregnant but they are due in June. Anyway, I ate a chicken caesar sandwich at Italian Pie and it apparently caused my blood sugar to sky rocket. Also, there was a news camera at Italian Pie because apparently they had been robbed the night before. I need to watch the 10 o' clock news and see if we are on it! I hope not.
So then blah blah blah I did some more errands and stuff and the after school we went and rented some movies and got some Happy Meals and C and W are now lying on their sleeping bags watching Madeline. We also rented An American Tail, which I cannot wait to watch. We have 3 birthday parties this weekend and I still have a buttload of laundry to do. My leg hurts very badly and I am going to put the kids to bed and eat graham crackers and watch I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. Sorry today's post is so dull. I promise to post an interesting summer camp story soon but I am just too tired right now.
The above picture of Fred Flintstone is in honor of Jason. Some people think they resemble each other. You be the judge.

Did you know that

If you put my name in your Google search engine... the picture above will come up? A friend pointed this out to me earlier in the week. This photo was taken in October of 2007. I remember taking it but I never saw a copy. Shortly afterwards, Liz got schnockered on martinis from Sullivan's. Oh Liz!
